WhoDunIt - Combat Overhaul (r81 released)

[Capt.J3]

Thanks guys, Ill remind you guys when the time is ready. But however, there is a downside... this map requires Zand 2.0.....

this map requires Zand 2.0.....

but why?

Hello da zebber! I used a lot of wall texture scaling with doombuilder2, which requires Zand 2.0. It can be played in the original one, but its going to look... odd.

Anyways.

Here's an update with DA CAPT OFFICIAL LIGHTING SYSTEM 2.0

What you mean? I can see them just fine.. :\
edit: I had a few friends looked at it, and they can see the lights. Is it your screen?

[abbuw]

I've started working on a WhoDunIt map that I created about a year ago.

It's a church!

[nax]

looks good abbuw!

[Burger_Betty]

That looks great! Just needs a little more detail to fill in the open areas. Can't wait to play all these new maps, nice work guys!

I meant that I still don't see why you need Zan 2.0 for dynamic lights. Don't the previous builds support them?

I already said this. I used a lot of texture scaling by the means of Doombuilder. I did a lot of texture detailing with the 3d floors, so using the texture's lump becomes useless in those terms.

Oohhh, gotcha. Didn't even know 2.0 properly supported Doombuilder scaling. That makes things a whole lot simpler.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. More screenshots of the church map; added some more areas. Screenshots are a little dark, sorry.

The church is coming out very nice. The lighting fits well on the stained glass in the archaic-like hall and even in the smaller corridors. Just remember to add some more scenery/obstacles to prevent some regions of the map from being vacant.

Hey all, I got a question about the new update Prepper made.

I've noticed this week my ability to murd effectively dropped down significantly, but I couldn't figure out why other than feeling pressured to pick bad fights because my mental was always low. Last night I was playing Castaway, got picked as murd and noticed right away my mental seemed to be draining really fast. Also, while attacking other players, despite hitting them 6-7+ times with knife, I gained 0 mental. The map was on barely 5 minutes and I had less than an inch of mental left.

Basically I'm wondering if mental drain was changed in this update or if I'm imagining things. I feel like I'm being forced to play stupidly because there's no time to employ the tactics I used before (blending in, trying to get someone to trust me, waiting for appropriate opportunities to 1v1 someone, setting traps or stashing weapons, etc.).

Am I crazy?

About five minutes is around the time a mental breakdown happens if you haven't killed anyone yet. Stabbing doesn't give you sanity though, only killing and getting hit by innocents

I tested with and without the update and didn't notice any difference.

[spoiler]Also J3 your map is looking really nice so far, I love the atmosphere of the graveyard.
Only one complaint from what I saw though-- There seems to be alot of narrow hallways inside the mansion.[/spoiler]

[Burger_Betty]

Thanks Riclo, I must be crazy then. I'm not sure why it feels this way when it didn't for the past 3 months, but I guess I'll just take the mental breakdown instead of picking stupid fights.

Hey Riclo, thanks for your take on the map. As for the narrow hallways, believe it or not, in the game, it is very narrow.. lol I am trying my best to mimic it close as possible with doom's very limited engine.

Were you using this combat overhaul, or the original release version? If it's the former, there were no real changes to the sanity handling, so it's possible the meter could be bugged (and iirc that was a potential issue I ran into once or twice while implementing it; so it may not actually be fixed properly as I thought).

If the latter, I know a lot of people run patched version of the mod on the servers (since the initial release had some problems). If that is the case, then it's out of my hands unfortunately.

I really like how the new overhaul system is working from the sound of things. I've yet to actually try it out myself, though.

I actually wanted to start making a map for WDI, but I'm not quite sure which wad's or pk3 files I should use as a base for testing while in Doom Builder 2 ( since the more popular servers use an array of addons ).
I've already checked this forum for anything regarding Doom Builder guidelines for this mod, but did not find anything...

Any actors or scripts I should keep in mind in order for maps to work with this overhaul, when I start making maps?
